NAB League
Patches of play continue to hurt the Western Jets in the NAB League Boys season. The Jets have been in every game so far, but sit middle of the table with a 2-3 record. With a bye on the weekend, the Jets have the chance to reset ahead of a big second half of the season.
Jets coach Robbie Chancellor said they still had some work to do. “We’ve been competitive in every game,” he said. “We’ve had chances to win every game that we have played. There’s parts of games that have let us down. Sides are getting away from us in those periods. We need to find a way when things aren’t going to plan, how to work through it.”
VAFA

Jackson Brook and Benjamin Hodge were named the Grammarians best.
